If you’ve been battling frequent tension headaches and are looking for a solution that doesn’t involve daily meds, a brow lift might not be the first thing that comes to mind—but it should be. While brow lifts are often known for their cosmetic benefits, many people don’t realize they can also provide real relief from certain types of headaches.
At The Spiegel Center, located just outside of Boston, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons specialize in transforming your look while also addressing medical concerns like chronic headaches.
How Can a Brow Lift Help with Headaches?
Tension headaches often come from overworked forehead muscles or the weight of sagging skin pressing on nerves. As we age, the skin on our forehead and brows loses elasticity, and the muscles underneath have to work overtime just to keep up. This strain can lead to headaches, especially in the temples and forehead. Drooping eyebrows can cause pressure on the sensitive nerves around the eyes, contributing to headaches as well.
Here’s where a brow lift comes in. By surgically lifting and repositioning the brow area, the tension in those overworked muscles is released. It also reduces pressure on the nerves around your eyes and forehead, which can significantly cut down on the frequency and intensity of headaches. Bonus: better circulation in the area can also help keep those headaches at bay.
Real Results, Real Relief
At The Spiegel Center, many of our patients who opt for a brow lift for cosmetic reasons are pleasantly surprised to find their headaches improve—or disappear altogether. If you’re someone who’s tired of reaching for pain relievers and want a long-term solution, this could be a game-changer.
By repositioning the brow and alleviating pressure, the procedure can provide significant relief from these debilitating symptoms of headaches. A brow lift can improve blood circulation in the forehead and brow region, which in turn can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches related to poor circulation.
As for brow lift recovery, most patients experience minimal downtime following a brow lift, with the majority returning to their normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within a few days.
